3917.10.90.00 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 3917.10.90.00, encompasses "other" artificial guts (sausage casings) made from plastics. These materials are designed to mimic the natural casings used in the production of sausages and other meat products, providing a flexible, durable, and often permeable container for processed meats. The classification is specifically for those not covered by the preceding sibling category.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 3917.10.60.00, which is specifically for artificial guts derived from collagen. While both fall under the broader classification of artificial guts of plastics, this subcategory serves as a residual category for all other plastic-based artificial guts that do not originate from collagen protein. This includes casings made from various cellulosic plastics or other synthetic plastic polymers engineered for food processing applications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 3917.10.90.00 hinges on the material composition being a plastic, and the product's intended use as an artificial gut or sausage casing, provided it is not specifically classified under the collagen-based category.
